A.J Jenkins signs a four-year deal

The 49ers now have signed all their draft picks better than a month before the start of training camp. Top-round pick A.J. Jenkins signed a four-year deal Wednesday for a reported $6.9 million. The signing came at the end of the team’s three-day rookie minicamp.

The signing also came with little fan fare. Coach Jim Harbaugh was in Peru building houses, and general manager Trent Baalke was also out of town. The signing of the first draft pick used to be a reason for press conferences and banner headlines. But the practice has become almost formulaic after last year’s collective bargaining agreement put strict caps on rookie compensation.

Jenkins has struggled throughout the off-season with several drops and even had difficulty staying on his feet. Head coach Jim Harbaugh has a different opinion.

“Yeah, he’s very into it, very Gung-ho. Very fast, fast, fast,” Harbaugh said of Jenkins. “He’s got excellent hands. He’s got the ability to get in and out of cuts with his foot speed.”

Jenkins will need to impress in training camp to steal playing time from Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree, Mario Manningham, Kyle Williams and Ted Ginn Jr. among others.
